Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). A practice patient after a head injury opens the eyes only to pressure (a painful stimulus), says inappropriate, random words and shows as the best motor response: abnormal flexion of the arms (decorticate posture). Work out the GCS and classify the head injury by it. Click your answer.

87?SBPDBPmmHgMAP = 65

Practice exercise (made-up values, not clinical guidance). The team aims for a mean arterial pressure of at least 65 mmHg. A patient’s systolic pressure is 87 mmHg. Using MAP = (SBP + 2·DBP)/3, what is the lowest diastolic pressure DBP that still gives a MAP of 65 mmHg?

MAP 65 mmHgSBP 87 mmHg
DBP = mmHg

Answer key

  1. 1. BMI = 34.6 kg/m²
  2. 2. PP = 73 mmHg
  3. 3. severe
  4. 4. SI = 0.95
  5. 5. high
  6. 6. DBP = 54 mmHg
